Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

The journey to exile was very hurried. Even after dark, the yamen officials were still on the way with the prisoners. It was almost midnight before the yamen officials found a spacious place and knocked the gong to call for rest.

Ke Muqing and others riding the bullock cart felt exhausted after a day's journey. When the prisoners heard the sound of the gong, their legs softened and they sat down directly.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Ke Muqing went to find Ke Xiucai and talked about inviting several colleagues from Yin Tang to have a hot meal together in the evening.

"I told Yin Tang at noon, and Yin Tang came over and replied, saying that their leader agreed." Ke Xiucai said.

Ke Muqing said hello, "Yang Sanqing caught two hares at noon and brought them over. He said they would be an extra dish for us. He had packed up the hares himself halfway through, and now they can be cooked directly. Boss My wife is a good cook, so I asked her to cook it, and when it was ready, I brought it over with the two jars of good wine."

"Ask San Qing and his master to come together. It will be more lively if there are more people drinking." Ke Xiucai liked Yang Sanqing before. Although Yang Sanqing was talkative and dull, he acted openly and openly. Ke Xiucai liked his thoughts even more.

Although he has a boring temper, he is not stupid.

After saying that, Ke Muqing left, and Ke Xiucai went to find Yin's father again. After a while, the two called Doctor Zhou, and the three of them walked towards a group of Yamen servants in Yin Hall.

When you invite someone to dinner, you must be sincere in your invitation. Even if the person is a small yamen servant, in this way, he is a Chaiye, which is more noble than ordinary people like them.

Braised rabbit meat will take some time. Ke Muqing first asked Yang Sanqing and Chen Changtai to go over with wine jars. When Ke Muqing came over with two large bowls of rabbit meat, a group of old men had already drank.

"Come on, this is a hare caught in the afternoon. The meat is delicious. Let's drink some meat with it." Ke Muqing said with a smile to the two dozen government officials.

Ke Muqing originally wanted to put down the bowl and find a free space to sit down and chat with a few people. After all, she was old and became a grandmother, so there was no need to guard against men and women.

But she didn't expect that while she was still waiting for Yin Tang beside her to help move the bowls and chopsticks on the table to make room for rabbit meat, a government servant who looked to be almost thirty years old suddenly yelled at her.

"I said, what's the matter with you, old woman? Why don't you just put a bowl of meat? Why are you still holding it for a while? After saying this, you don't want to give some to the brothers to eat, or what?"

After the yamen servant finished speaking, he stood up, took the big porcelain bowl directly from Ke Muqing's hand, and placed it in front of the chief yamen servant with a bang.

Because other dishes were already placed there, the man directly stacked the bowls on top of the two bowls of dishes.

Yin Tang was stunned while holding the other bowl, but it was Langzhong Zhou who spoke up and said, "This is the eldest daughter of Ke Xiucai, the sister-in-law of brother Sanqing, and the mother of this boy named Wen Xiao."

These words are telling everyone that Ke Muqing is not a slave.

The head of the government office glanced at Doctor Zhou, then pulled his standing colleague back to sit down.

He turned around and cupped his hands with Ke Muqing, "The wine aunt brought is too fragrant. Brother Chen Hu accidentally drank too much. Please forgive me, aunt."

Ke Muqing hurriedly waved his hand and said nothing happened, smiled and asked everyone to eat and drink more, then turned around and left on the pretext that he still had something to do.

But as soon as she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared.

She just thought about how old she was and whether she had the protection of a man or a woman, so it would not be difficult to do it here.

I have forgotten that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority here, especially for some chai lords from the capital who have eyes on the top of their heads. The word "education" basically has nothing to do with them.

Ke Muqing sighed quietly, and then thought back to the perfunctory explanation and apology from the head of the government office. He thought that his journey would not be any easier. Those people agreed to go with them for Yin Tang's sake and did not embarrass them, but if something happened, it was absolutely impossible to expect these people to help.

Even in the future, Ke Muqing and his party would even have to guard against this group of government officials.

After all, these government officials did not prepare enough supplies to deal with the subsequent famine. These government officials only replenished what they needed for the next journey every time they arrived at a post station or a new town.

When the famine comes, these government officials will not be able to buy food even if they have money. They are not kind-hearted people. It will not be surprising that they will turn into thieves first.

"Grandma, are you in a bad mood?"

As soon as Ke Muqing sat down, Yang Shuangshuang came over, touched the back of Ke Muqing's hand with her little hand, and comforted Ke Muqing in the same way that Ke Muqing comforted her.

"Don't be upset, Grandma. It's not worth it to ruin your body for someone who's not worth it."

Ke Muqing smiled at the few people who were staring at her, "I'm not unhappy, let's eat quickly."

Yang Jiye stupidly asked, "Mom, why didn't you stay there and talk to them? Mom has a good brain, she should stay there to help us find out the news. What's the use of relying on Wen Xiao alone? That wine That meat is like giving it away for free."

Feng Ying held her forehead and said, "Husband, you must be too lazy to deal with the large group of old men drinking. It will be more lively for us to sit and have dinner together as a family when we come back."

Feng Ying thought to herself that this was the reason why her mother-in-law asked the sixth son to accompany her instead of calling her eldest son Yang Jiye.

If you have no vision, you are almost the same as a fool.

My mother-in-law specially carried the bowl herself and asked everyone not to wait for her to eat.

My mother-in-law is back now in a bad mood. Does she want to come back? It must be that something happened over there that made my mother-in-law feel bad.

Yang Jiye was still there, saying that it was a pity for the rabbit meat. He said that he didn't even drink the soup and sent it all. If he had known that his mother couldn't even take a bite, he might as well have kept half of it secretly.

"Brother, there are more than 20 government officials in total, plus my grandfather and the others, who are nearly 30 people, and they are all big men. Two more rabbit meats are not enough for them to drink. They have given away all the things. You If you dig it, you might as well not give it away." Yang Jimin scolded his elder brother, and he really couldn't bear to listen.

"Lao Si's books have not been read in vain during this period." Ke Muqing immediately praised Yang Jimin.

Yang Jiye said that the fourth man was right, and he was not dissatisfied. He lowered his head and continued to cook. In short, just don't let him go hungry.

The Yang family had just finished their meal, and a group of people on Ke Xiucai's side were still drinking. Yang Wenxiao suddenly came over with a government servant who was a few years older than him.

"What's wrong?" Ke Muqing stood up to greet him and asked, "Master, what's missing?"

The yamen servant quickly shook his head, "Mom, there's nothing missing. I just heard Brother Wenxiao say that he has a slingshot that's very useful when I was chatting with him in private. I don't like drinking, so I couldn't sit still, so I just pulled it. Brother Zhu Wenxiao came over to take a look at his slingshot."

Speaking of this, the yamen servant immediately said, "Mom, don't call me Cha Ye. What kind of man am I? Just call me by my name. My name is Zheng Hui."
